It is indeed great to be back after triple bypass surgery in the end of
February. I did a five miler Thursday and a ten miler on Friday South of
Boston.
Last year I was doing some sprint triathlons, this year I'm happy to do ten
miles.

I'm curious- I know heart disease isn't always for the unhealthy but I
wonder if you know what caused yours? If you were doing sprint marathons I
would assume you were in great shape right?

Thanks

Did you ever hear of Jim Fixx? He wrote the book on running in the late
70's that got everyone out jogging. He dropped dead while running a few
years back because of severely blocked arteries. My problem was also
blockage in three arteries. One 95% blocked, the other two over 75% blocked.
I'm 58 and have a family history of heart disease. I was lucky I got tested
when the problem first manifested itself.
